Ridiculously low calorie, low fat salad dressing

1 tb fat free plain yogurt - 7 calories
1 ts raw honey - 21 calories
1/2 ts lemon juice - 0 calories

Total calories = 28

That's it... makes enough for 1 serving on a salad (assuming you don't drench salads with dressing). It's sweet, a bit tangy, and very good :-)

I came up with this because I have lots of salad stuff in the house now - but did not pick up any salad dressing. I was remembering some of the salads I'd have in Turkey - and recalled a lot of them seemed to be a yogurt base, so figured it was worth a shot to come up with my own. My first attempt yesterday was not a win - but today's recipe (the one posted) is quite tasty :-)

    something else i have been using is homemade tzasiki (the white sauce on the gyros)

    i use the plain greek yogurt, add 1/2 cucumber diced small, 3 cloves garlic or to taste, i use this to top chicken, tuna, salad, in pitas. delicious.

    If you're interested, check out (Walden Farms) salad dressing. Its calorie FREE!! but tastes awesome, lots of variety in flavors. No I'm not a walden farms sales rep, but I pimp there products so often I should be.:grumble:

    Awesome salad dressing recipe by the way.,:smile:

    Not familiar with the brand - but it makes me wonder what the ingredients are. Any of the artificial sugar subs makes me pretty ill - really bad stomach pain (splenda, nutrasweet, etc etc). Plus, being in Guam, I'm fairly limited on things a lot of people stateside might take for granted :-)

    I also add an envelope of dry Ranch Dressing mix to a large tub of plain yogurt and it makes a great dip for veggies or I'll take about a quarter cup of the yogurt/ranch mix and add some fat free milk to thin it out and it makes a yummy light salad dressing!!
